Queensland Premier Steven Miles has unveiled a raft of legal changes aimed at cracking down on crime as dozens rally in Brisbane ahead of this year’s state election.
The changes include an expanded trial of Jack’s Law, which enables police to perform random searches at shopping centres, licensed venues, and “ high-risk retail outlets ”.

Picture: NCA NewsWire/Tertius Pickard “My government’s Community Safety Plan for Queensland is about delivering the evidence-based prevention and intervention services to prevent crime from occurring.“While we know there will always be some level of crime, it’s our jobs as a government to put the plans in place to respond quickly and support those victims.”
Among the other changes announced by Mr Miles are an additional 3000 wands and 1000 state-of-the-art tasers that will be rolled out to police officers.
